Quick VT run

It's been a trying week, one of those where you fantasize about running away and living in a yurt with a pet yak on the edge of a small brook in a meadow of daisies and a view of a mountain. Not that there's been anything big happening, it's just been a regular week where you think, on a minute basis, "this is my life?!?!?!". To combat this grump, we took a very quick trip up to VT for some Papa and Grandma therapy. Aaahhh, we all feel much better. Clearly VT air agrees with Hudson because he only woke up once on Friday night. As he woke up 5 times on Thursday (and Wednesday, and Tuesday....), this was a minor miracle. I'm now more able to laugh at the melodrama that surrounds every moment of life with a 2.5 year old (oh, the drama....). Didn't hurt that there was a marathon of Extreme Couponers on this afternoon to watch while bouncing Hudson :)

Sledding adventures with Papa

Lots of ice

Steve had fun too

Contemplative bluebird

I made this! haha, seriously, he is about the cutest thing you've ever seen

The Adoration of Papa Society has another member

Art time today somehow dissolved into an unauthorized sensory session. Hurray for water washable!

Hudson loved participating. Actually, he just found his toes so any chance to commune with them is seized with joy.

We're celebrating Valentine's in a big way this year. All week the kids (and Steve) are getting cards and little treats in their own mailboxes, and then we'll cook a nice meal on Friday.

More art fun
